TOMMY SANDOVAL INTERVIEW

What are you looking forward to most about coming to South Africa?
Seeing a Lion in the wild, going on a safari, and seeing the differences between our cultures. It will be cool to skate uncharted spots as well.

What is the furthest country that you’ve been to so far and what difference there made the biggest impression on you?
Australia might not be the furthest, but it had the most memorable spots and was really exciting and seeing all the wild left a pretty big impression on me.

Do you ever have to deal with fatigue when touring? If so, what do you do to manage with it?
Absolutely, there’s a lot of driving, skating, time differences etc. All of those factors play into how hard you’re working your body and how it’s going to effect you. There’s no “dealing with it” really. I just try to get as much rest as I can and take care of myself, and just keep going.

Lately, what music gets you hyped before you go skate?
I listen to a little Soul Music, Reggae of course, occasional Hip Hop, and Doo Wop.

When playing a game of S-K-A-T-E, what’s your go-to-trick that you know no-one else will get?
I don’t think that even exists anymore. I think people are too good these days to have tricks nobody else can do.

If you were cornered by an angry Elephant or Rhinoceros and had to escape, which do you think you’d be able to out-smart and why?
I’d give it to the Elephant in hopes to have a better chance of running away I guess. I wouldn’t know what to do really.

Palm Beach Surf Club.

We get mistaken for Australians all the time, do you ever get confused as being South African?
No, though I offended people when I thought they were Australian and they were South African.

Who can HANDLE a guitar?
Angus Young

Favourite country at the moment?
Australia

Swear in a different language.
Spanish F you!

How much pot do you smoke?
None. Beer and Jaeger.

Have you ever heard about any skateboarding in South Africa?
Yeah a little bit. Tommy Fynn is from there isn’t he?

What is “home”?
Australia

5 things you grab before spontaneously heading out on a 2 week skate trip?
Board, grip, trucks, wheels and bearings.

Shot for the time man, last one: All time best skate trip, why and what was the highlight?
Kind of the Road for Blind. It was crazy and weiss!
